Standard Pacific homes

[Pro Max]

My friend works for them as a Super, all I can say is there Quality is light years ahead of Lennar ( my home ) He is very picky of how his homes are built. My next home will defintly be a Standard Pacific.

Hey I have to thread jack a little, something is really makeing me think. My wife and I bought our house last year for $225,000. Now you can puchase the same exact home for $145,000. Talk about a big hit, as to most of us. So I was thinking of giving the keys back to the bank on this house and going out and buying the same home ($145,000) cash. I would just take the 7 year hit and move on. So I know this is an insane idea but it is an idea. What do you guys think??

This is what I have posted about previously. Not only will you get foreclosure home on the market taken back from people who can't afford their payments, you will get foreclosure homes back from people who choose not to take the (temporary) loss. This will be a smaller wave, but will still be thousands of additional homes given back to the banks.
I'd suggest you buy the new one first, then try to get the bank to take the home "deed in lieu." This means getting them to take the title back without going through the foreclosure process. It would, I believe ding your credit, but not so much as a foreclosure would.
Talk with your tax guy, an attorney and the bank's reo department and be sure you get the right answers.

Might want to ask what happens to the warranty if someone buys them out or they don't make it. I only say this because they are one of the top builders that do not look good on paper.

I just helped a friend get into one a few months back.
I think they are a lot nicer than some of the other top builders in our area.. such as; KB and Taylor Woodrow. The floor plans seem to be a little nicer and they give you more options at the base price than some of the other builders. Also when we where looking, it seemed the S.P. homes where more spaced out than other neighborhoods(I know that is sometimes a big issue with people looking for new homes.).
Good luck on your search!
